does anybody know what year these would have been originally installed?

Cool video. I didn't realise they had to be made up on site like that.

What was wrong with the old tower?

Was it just old or was there another reason for a like for like replacement?

The wires are not live when we replace these.

Please Tell Me This Wires Aren't Live, When There Doing That.....

But pylons are killers so why do they bother putting them up they should cut down the pylons and use wind turbines instead.

@Paulc2011 Dumbest comment I've seen in quite a while. And on youtube that is really saying something!

@Paulc2011

and how would we get the power from the turbines to the homes? Idiot...

[m20anker]

Why the same tower as replacement?

[marf7245]

awesome power for everyone

The National Grid must construct additional pylons.

[ClarkTrentMusic]

Great. 

Must have to have a right head for heights for that job. Myself im terrified.

[CJCymru]

Interesting! I always wondered how they were built, before seeing this I assumed that they came in sections on back of lorries.

What was wrong with the older ones though? They look identical.
